To assemble the device, element g` is iirst rigidly mounted inside element e, tube is n screwed into place, and elements /L and as- 0G seinbly e, f, g, are inserted through opposite ends of the horizontal bore,

It Will be noted that the head of element g is provided with a boss in line with the axis UJI ments e and h are screwed together, head e1 or the former takes up against said boss so as to rigidly iX element g in position.

In operation, compressed air, entering |40 through (Z0, Will cause liquid to rise in con- 9U duit c, and fill the bore of tube 7, the head of element g being iiattened to permit communication between 50000 and the inside of tube At the same time compressed air will pass through passages 500, 60 and IL10 and 95 vaporize the liquid exuding from orifice f0. The use of element g may be dispensed With, orifice f0, in that case, being reduced to limit the flow of liquid to the quantity desired.
